Cybersecurity: The magics that enhance and ensure data and networks on our society

Cyberattack has evolved beyond the era when threats were seen as legacy computer viruses spreading and replicating through networks. Nowadays the challenges in cybersecurity cannot be addressed by considering only technical threats within computing environments. While advancements in computing power and novel algorithms may suggest that simply replacing to stronger secure methods is sufficient, in reality these factors can cause severe risks particularly as social and technological systems become more mature and complex. With the rapid development of AI, we are entering a new phase where we must study risks that were previously unimaginable. There is a growing demand for forward-looking capabilities, cybersecurity skills that allow people to reduce potential threats not only in the present, but also 10 to 20 years into the future.
Our laboratory focuses on some interdisciplinary approaches to ensure that the future foundations of society are secure and sustainable. We study across a wide range of domains: operational security and risk management within organizations; legal aspects of cybercrime; intellectual property rights management related to animation and AI generative; hardware and software vulnerabilities in IoT and automotive technologies; and systemic risks such as network flooding and potential failures in next-generation internet infrastructure and IPv6. Although the range of possible research issues is vast, each are a critical role in the functioning of society. We discuss to identify how these systems can be effectively protected through active dialogue and applied research in cybersecurity world.
